Here are the simple farm machines, the trusty green two-cylinder tractors that pulled agriculture from horses to horsepower. Compiled by the historian chosen by Deere & Company to write its story, this encyclopedia unfolds the full model-by-model history of the worlds most popular tractor--from the first one produced in 1914 to the last in 1960.

Brochures and toys, archival photographs and new color images lovingly depict every facet of these sturdy machines. Entries profile the model variations and specs, the options and historical features of the John Deere two-cylinder tractor through the decades, a classic sight on the American horizon.

He's the author of Voyageur's The Big Book of John Deere and John Deere Tractor Legacy. He lives in Devizes, Wiltshire, Great Britain.

Model Retailer, October 2007

“This book is readable, informative and nicely illustrated. It would make a valuable resource for modelers looking for prototype shots, die-cast tractor collectors, and hobbyists interested in restorations or American farm history.”
